I don't think anyone finds Sharon's actions excusable because her daughter died if thats what you think. "Some"are just finding THIS Sharon unrecognizable and a practical explanation could potentially be Cassie's death and also her daughter Faith being stolen from birth. Perhaps shes been taking some weird medication or something, who knows! I just think there are ways of explaining her behavior instead of writing her as a whole different person with a new personality, because no one knows this version of her and frankly I'm not a fan.. even though SC is doing great at pulling it off, it still stinks.

On the above Highlighted Bee, HOW RIGHT U ARE however that's the nature of certain thinking from many when it comes to defending this particular character.. Several avenues can be aligned with Sharon badly tainted actions her insecurity's and sanity could stem from the Rapes she endured without counsel, almost gang rape, absentee father and death lost of two children all which have been shown on screen so I think fans of this character would appreciate sucha story being told.

After all the crap Sharon has been through and never actually dealing with it. The story is there for the writers to explain what is going on with her character. So far they have chosen to ignore it for years.

Rape, domestic abuse, being abandoned by a parent, and dealing with the death of more than one child.

Here Sharon is a character that has been through legit trauma onscreen. The writers ignore it. While they come up with ridiculous back stories to make excuses for other characters.
